I thought the book was a very quick read, it contained nice short chapters that made reading it in shorter blocks of time easier. This house is called blackbird house because there is a blackbird who lives there throughout all the changes in ownership in the course of 200 years. Is the blackbird good luck or bad luck? Alice HOffman does a great job with symbolism in this book.

Unique idea, book is based on all the people who lived in one house. Enjoyable read.

This book is made up of a collection of stories of the residents of the same house over hundreds of years. It is interesting to see how the seemingly separate stories intertwine and how the past residents leave their "mark" on the house that you can see reappearing generation after generation. It is also a quick read. I loved it!

The girls had mixed reviews about the book.
Some did not bother to read it.
It was not the kind of book that you can really get into.
It is a book of short stories about a particular house (and a blackbird that was associated with it) and the people who lived in it over the years.
